Wrong, mistakes happen rounds in advance of someone being killed more often than not. You can look at a pretty good number of my games and realize that i am the one going for most of the kills. Its all about setting yourself up to not be killed and to kill others at the same time. Often a fine line lays between the two sides of that coin. You say skill is over at that point but this is the root of where you start to go wrong, skill is not over at that point...skill has already happened. It is a skill to know and read the board and to be prepared of that possibility to happen. That is no different than sequential...sure speed is all that matters after all the skill has been placed into the move but that doesn't mean any fast player can have the skill to be prepared for what eventually happens.

I am not disagreeing with you ljex, what I am saying is at the final critical moment. Once the mistake is made all of you recognize it(because you know the map) now it is purely who is the fastest to get those cards. Yes the skill to get you there is now over, the turn in is the winner, because now everyone is waiting to see who is next and if they can get there first. Thats all speed ljex.

I'm not saying anyone in this thread does this, but there's a lot of high ranked players who play 1v1 on a tricky map to run their score all the way up. The fact that I play it on classic not only gives lower rated players a much better chance of winning, but they also get to deploy first and auto their stack on mine putting me at a huge disadvantage.

So I'm still waiting for you guys to man-up and admit that I have some serious skills at this.

My god some of the things you say are just stupid...go look at my numbers for manual classic freestyle, they are pretty much the same as yours and i was way worse than i am now when i played most of them. Also if anyone who is not good joins your games you can very easily get the stack attack off as they are not as fast as you not to mention the fact that many of them don't get the deploy off first. Yeah your good at your chosen map but that doesn't prevent other people from being better.

no it is purely who had accounted for all the variables most accurately. this is where you are wrong you need to know everyone in the game and what they are going to do to make the best possible decision strategically for yourself. The person who was closest to being accurate will be the one that benefits the most and moves closer to winning. This is where true greatness comes into play in speed freestyle escalating.

you still dont get it pittsy. rank doesnt equal skill. never has never will

Louie, now that your rank has fallen this low 1400-1600, I think you have to prove once again that you are as skilled as you think you are. WIN more team games.I, myself, have never fallen below Captain ever since Day 1 of reaching Captain. I fell from 2948 to Captain, due to bad dice and losing my internet while someone had to sit for me. Of course, I dont take gambling games like 'Assassin' with the whole public.

It's been a while since I've been this entertained on cc, this is just great. I hope he is a cook by morning. My losses to him were when he was once a somewhat respected player, but now he's just... lol.

im curious how you think his playing ability has changed so drastically as his rank would suggest in the last 24 hours. Not many players on cc regress in ability...

my point was that his playing ability has not changed but one of a few things has happened 1) he is playing a game type that he is not as good at 2) he is playing a game type that is more luck based 3) he doesn't give a shit anymore

im guessing some combination of the above yet you somehow think he is a worse player now than he was 24 hours ago

I think doom has hit it louie,freakin assassin games and a crop of different 1vs1 is causing your fall

or a bunch of low ranked players are alot better than given credit for by those who are above them in rank,when playing their style of game that is.
